scruffmcgruff, i wasn't apologizing for tomasini or telling him that he should (although it'd be nice), i was just telling fencerdenoctum that he/she (sorry but i don't know your gender) should just ignore tomasini's comment, joke or not (but because of how i have been treated here in the past by people other than tomasini, i did not take take it as one) and i seriously want to know what kind of tea he/she drinks. i guess it's just how we phrase things in WI.

and also if you think i do or say something inappropriate either in a forum or in the chat room in the future i'd appreciate it if you'd please come to me privately. thanks.

Tomasini, don't worry. You're safe. I got the joke. I couldn't help but chuckle.

Mocha Wheels- I'm currently drinking....well nothing. I've run out of "everyday" teas and I'm left with the Adagio Holiday Sampler I still have from last December. Still good, but to me those are "dessert teas". Not for everyday drinking.

When the cup runneth over its usually Earl Grey or Yunnan Jig. I found Adagio's English Breakfast a bit too smokey for my tastes, but the tin was emptied none the less. Irish is my breakfast thanks.

I'm finally giving in to Gaiwan and Yixing fever soon so I can properly brew Oolongs and a little green, though I'll be waiting for a kyusu to do that. Space, curse you for only giving cause to my teaware addiction!!

Finally, I really enjoy "putting quotation marks" around "things."

The screenname I've had for years, and I've never really fenced, unless you count a little Kenjutsu here and there.
